The Association between TRP Channels Expression and Clinicopathological Characteristics of Patients with Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma
Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has low survival rates worldwide due to its tendency to be detected late and its characteristic desmoplastic reaction, which slows the use of targeted therapies. As such, the discovery of new connections between genes and the clinicopathological parameters contribute...

description | Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has low survival rates worldwide due to its tendency to be detected late and its characteristic desmoplastic reaction, which slows the use of targeted therapies. As such, the discovery of new connections between genes and the clinicopathological parameters contribute to the search for new biomarkers or targets for therapy. Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels are promising tools for cancer therapy or markers for PDAC. Therefore, in this study, we selected several genes encoding TRP proteins previously reported in cellular models, namely, Transient Receptor Potential Cation Channel Subfamily V Member 6 (TRPV6), Transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1), and Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily M (melastatin) member 8 (TRPM8), as well as the TRPM8 Channel Associated Factor 1 (TCAF1) and TRPM8 Channel Associated Factor 2 (TCAF2) proteins, as regulatory factors. We analyzed the expression levels of tumors from patients enrolled in public datasets and confirmed the results with a validation cohort of PDAC patients enrolled in the Clinical Institute Fundeni, Romania. We found significantly higher expression levels of TRPA1, TRPM8, and TCAF1/F2 in tumoral tissues compared to normal tissues, but lower expression levels of TRPV6, suggesting that TRP channels have either tumor-suppressive or oncogenic roles. The expression levels were correlated with the tumoral stages and are related to the genes involved in calcium homeostasis (Calbindin 1 or S100A4) or to proteins participating in metastasis (PTPN1). We conclude that the selected TRP proteins provide new insights in the search for targets and biomarkers needed for therapeutic strategies for PDAC treatment. |
